Dad's Sauteed Green Beans with Garlic (Đậu Que Xào Tỏi)
What is Đậu Que Xào Tỏi?
Đậu que xào tỏi is a simple Vietnamese stir-fry of green beans and garlic, lightly seasoned so the beans stay crisp-tender and sweet. It's an easy vegetable side that goes with almost any main dish.
The perfect pair with my Asian styled steak is my dad's garlic green beans stir fry 🤤 it has the perfect amount of crunch and flavor. This was a dish my dad would often make for us growing up (and I hated removing all those ends and stems of the green beans after school 😂)
